This Little Bird was the only one out in the heat.
Hot weather is interesting it makes me think of becoming a day sleeper and night Owl. It’s nice early in the morning drinking coffee on the water side with a slight breeze carrying the 65°F (18.33°C) directly into my lap.

Vermiculture Blog; A Winter Update.

Avoid castings that when the Worms have been fed meat, fat, bones, feces of any kind, as they may turn into Pathogens. If they have been fed anything but organic waste use them only on non-edible plants, never on vegetables.

Tis the Season for Shredding Cardboard; Fa La La…….
. My goal is to keep as much out of the garbage dumps as possible, picking up plastic, paper, cardboard and re-usable machines is my contribution to keeping our planet livable.

Getting Ready to Get Ready; It’s time to Fix the Garden Boxes
There’s a pile of tree branches on the Levee after trimming two of our trees to code. The Fire Code requires branches over the Levee not be closer to the ground than 15 feet, we have to keep the fire access lanes open. So my job is to cut all of the limbs to workable sizes and find a use for them. It will take me two weeks working a maximum of 3 hours a day, that’s my limit; I’m confident I will find use for most of the stuff I trim.
